Function and system design
Measuring principle
A0023188
The device measures the mass flow of a liquid medium with the calorimetric measurement method.
The calorimetric measuring principle is based on cooling a heated temperature sensor. Heat is removed
from the sensor by forced convection due to medium flowing by. The extent of this heat transfer
depends on the medium velocity and the difference in temperature between the sensor and medium
(King's law). The higher the velocity or the mass flow of the medium, the greater the temperature
sensor cooling.
